I could swear I’ve read this love before.
…me too.
ok, somebody get an exorcist, this time I mean it!
Well, maybe you should have skipped across the way, Day Tripper. You had the opportunity for contact
Good advice Cap:)
And when you get run over because you didn’t look both ways before bolting across the street, they can be the last thing you ever see….
awwww, how sweet.
Zed, you need to get the hell outta dodge for a bit…..you really should try to come to the beach sat!
How about we being the fixings for Irish coffee to the beach?That should warm us up if we get cold.A nice hot drink would be nice for SheSang and anyone else that’s brave enough to go into the cold water.
Zed you just have to come with us,it’s gonna be a lot of fun.
It sure would be nice to be able to blow off some steam.To get so loaded I forget my shit life for a little while.
I hate to tell you Day Tripper but it’s a one-way ticket! Yeah?
it took me soooooo long, to find out. but i found out.
Hey Day Tripper, why ‘bittersweet’–did you even try to please her, or did she only play one-night stands;)?
…Or , he played the games on her??
GDM Find out what?
OP, bittersweet why? Anticipation of crossing the way or no longer together? Vagueness strikes again!
Now you’re a big teaser SheSang, you only took us half the way there.
No#1, your first question would be best directed towards Paul McCartney, author of ‘Day Tripper’. There, now I’m taking the easy way out.
Troodon Thanks.I was never a big Beatles fan. 🙂
I appreciate folks that tell it like it is;I may not like what they have to say but,theres no second guessing the meaning.
i suppose when doing song lyrics, i should indicate in some way….i think i am having this same discussion on friggin FB.
thanks TF (you obvious old fart)
♬♫♪♩i use these
Troodon, baby, would you drive my car? ;D
…and yes, i’m gonna be a star, cosmologically speaking, that is;P
I am a big Beatles fan Boru. Hard to believe that they were only in existence for a decade. In that time they had 27 number one chart toppers and produced 13 albums. On April 4/1964 they held the top five positions on the Billboard charts. No one has come close to that before or since.
i used to walk to school in grade 6 singing ‘i wanna hold your hand’ over and over again. my entire room was plastered with beatle cards. man, how the world changed around them and through them. norwegian wood and jude. if i have to pick favourites. and she loves you, hell, the whole hard days night album. eleanor rigby. things we said today. moody blues. s&g. lightfoot. baez. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hendrix. Cream. Yes. Pink Floyd. Too many to mention.
cat stevens, phoebe snow, joni mitchell, grace slick and mama cass. dylan and donovan ( i called my daughter jennifer juniper ) and MOOG, switched on bach hahaha.
we had a gold plated empire turntable, revox reel to reel and dynaco amps that i built. hub-unit at the time designed and built the speakers. lined in friggin concrete.
chianti and spaghetti and books on boards. whatta time to be young.
^^^^
Nearly all of that made absolutely no sense to me…
♬ talkin bout my generation ♬
Hey Paingirl, people try to put us down, just because we g-g-g-get around, and things they do look awful c-c-cold…..hope i die before i get old;)
ok, who’s going to confess liking the girl singers?
it’s my party and i;ll cry if i want to
my boyfriends back and you’re gonna be in trouble
and….as he drove off on that rainy night, i begged him to go slow…whether he heard, i’ll never know
if there’s anyone here even older than me, how about running bear, battle of new orleans (we powdered his behind) blueberry hill, 99 tears (? & the sorry wrong decade) where the boys are, town without pity, mariah, el paso.
Where do you get the clefs PG?
LOL Molly – “Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits” and “The Clancy Brothers Live at Carnegie Hall” were the first 2 of my parent’s records that I remember listening to as a wean. And of course:
“Fighting Soldiers, from the sky.
Fearless men, who jump and die.
Men who mean just what they say.
The brave men of the Green Beret”
Lots of Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia, Judy Collins …WHAT THE DEUCE?… My folks were closet folkies? I remember once helping my Dad set up my record player next to his stereo and trying to sync up Judy Collins’ Amazing Grace” with the version done by the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Fo shizz, yo – we were your Original D.J.s – Grand Master Warrant Officer and BookBoi are in da house! Shit jus got real.^^^
As far as girl singers, I don’t think anybody can touch the aching purity of Damita Jo’s “I’ll be There”

under edit i have something called special characters, but i do have a mac, not sure if that matters ✔✖♥
way to go ivan, make me lost for half hour in utube listening to old songs. and totally goosebumped. i am an out-of-the-closet folkie. ha!
mum had a 78 with pipes & drums. love pipes. bliss living in nova scotia and getting to hear them live so often.
orbison – everything.
I grew up mostly with country because mom had control of the radio… it was that or off.
I’ve blocked most of it out but sadly some remnants remain.

Tell me about it MadDog^^. SOBova can always tell when I’m in one of my moods because I retreat to the computer with a pint and listen to sad old songs while she just stands in the door looking all concerned like June Carter in the “Hurt” video.
For me most Country falls under the category of The Special Olympics of Music, but there are some songs that, despite being shamlessly manipulative can reduce me to a shapeless blob of sugary mush. First time I heard “Riding With Private Malone” I was blubbering like an idiot by the time the 3rd verse came around.
And I do love the Celtic influences on country, bluegrass and roots music. The Chieftans 2 “Old Plank Road” discs kick ass.
we spent the evening listening to a 70’s radio station, we knew all the words to every song. i’ve got some wacky earworms going on
i listened in the 50’s and 60’s, dj’d in the 70’s and 80’s (back in the day when a dj was on the radio, not in a club) and i like almost anything (show music just cannot get into)
some of the country stuff is just right for dancing by yourself with the cats all lined up on the couch looking at you as if you are insane. ‘back on my mind again’ milsap.
turn the page – segar, gad. radar love. sausalito summer nights.
no one kind of music can satisfy all your moods. all kinds of weather – you gotta have beach boys in the summer.
oh god terry jacks, can’t think of anything that would go with. did you know the flip side of the seasons in the sun 45 was a song called ‘put the bone in’ ?
meatloaf – paradise by the dashboard light. i played it so often the sports guy threatened to smack me.
celtic. speaks to the blood.
we’re listening to the station at the shop and laughing, our young employee is getting a big kick out of it. alan parsons project and now black sabbath
Michel Pagliaro always snaps me back to my first year in Debert in 1978 because the local station had him heavily in their Can-con list. It’s always a pleasant memory despite the fact that I absolutley detested Debert, Truro and the world for most of that summer and fall because we had moved there from Calgary and I was 17. Go figure.
After 2 decades in the Church of Bruce I got switched on to Celtic folk by Max Ferguson and his Sat. morning show on the Ceeb. Never looked back
inna gadda da vida baby! stairway! aqualung!
haha, sex pistols are on now
I could so go for a little “London Calling” right now. 5 hours to go. Grrrrrrrrr!
my fave clash song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQwm1v1R-qM ha, now it’s billy joel
can con & capac sheets. thanks for the pagliaro ivan, listening to some sing some dance now.
how one night in bangkok instead!
Some Sing, Some dance – freakin’ love that tune!
One Night in Bangkok – not so much, but primarily because I was living with some uni buds when that came out and you would be surprised at the homo-erotic variations of the lyrics that the average drunken young white male can dream up, when he has to.
Or, perhaps you wouldn’t >: )
Loved Big Country, Early U-2 and this little gem that I haven’t heard in about 20 years

Hay, you know on Friendly Giant, every now and then they’d go to the music room and jam with Angie and Fiddle – the jazz cats. This is kind of like that >: )
i am having way too much fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnqj31VPNoE
OMFG IKNORITE!
This one’s fer Trood with his current avatar.

Bono might be a wanker with an ego the size of the Ross Ice Shelf but that is probably my favorite tune of the last 25 years.
i *mouse ears* youse guys
no surprises there ivan, first hub was engineering student. ‘we have big balls’ was theme for our prom.
cold as ice – foreigner
west end girls pet shop boys
simply red
every decade is good. gad, one headlight by wallflowers. i was obsessed by it but had no idea what the name of song or group was and radio stations (hate this!) don’t back announce everything. i had to go into a music store and sing it (badly) to several gen-x staff before someone figured out what it was. lalalal cinderella, lalla lala all toegther.
annie lennox.
I LOVE Radar Love, Good Dog! Such an awesome song!

Oh yeah, when you’ve got seven young bucks sharing a house, F@g is the standard term of address, or was, back then. (It was the 80’s. It was a more innocent time) And despite the fact that he is supposedly a major tossrag, even before re-imagining himself as the Uncle Fester of alt rock, I’ve never in my life wanted so much to be Billy Corgan as when watching this:

we’re now listening to supertramp and pink floyd very loud and the bear is reminiscing about all the bands he saw when he was younger

Once made out with a redhead to Geils’ Angel in Blue – Good Times.

Are you old people still rambling away in the corner?
hey zzzzzz good thing about being old, you can just pee in yer pants so you never have to get up and leave
Depends.
As in, mine need changing you little punk, and don’t spare the talcum powder this time. We had boneless buffalo wings at the Manor last night and my balloon knot feels like Chernobyl right now.
